Academic Journey

I’m currently a Postdoctoral Researcher working with Prof. Wangzhong Mu in the Division of Material Science, Department of Engineering Sciences and Mathematics at Luleå University of Technology, Sweden.

My academic journey began with a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Physics at The American College, Madurai. I later joined a major R&D project funded by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Government of India at SSN College of Engineering, Chennai, which led to my Ph.D. at Anna University. After completing my doctorate, I pursued postdoctoral research at IIT Bombay in the Computational Materials Engineering Group until early 2025.
